Huh?! The decision on which libs a binary uses is entirely determined at compile time... The only time you need the static libs installed is at compile time (and only if you are statically linking). No precompiled binary that is linked to static libs requires the static libs to be present to run. Or did I totally miss what you were saying. -- TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger
